CONECTION BETWEEN ROUTER 2811 AND SWITCH 3750G SHOWS HIGH ERROR LEVEL

Hi,

We are having problems with the connection between a router cisco 2811 and switch cisco 3750G.

The interface LAN of the router 2811 is Fastethernet configured with: speed 100 and duplex full.

The interface Gigabit ethernet ofr switch 3750G is configured with: speed: 100 and duplex full.

When we run the command: show interface fastethernet 0/1 at cisco router 2811 we can see a high level of dropped paquet:

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh int fas

  Hardware is MV96340 Ethernet, address is 0007.0e29.1849 (bia 0007.0e29.1849)

But at the interface Gigabitethernet of 3750G does not appear any error, all is o.k.

The IOS of the router cisco 2811 is: c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-19b

Would you be mind telling me if we need to change the router to other models that support gigabit interface to resolve this problem?

Thanking in advance any suggestion.

Like Glen, your initial posting stats could indicate the 3750G is sending large bursts of traffic to the 2811 (small packets would be the most problematic).  The 2811, although it has FastEthernet ports, does not guarantee 100 Mbps line-rate.  What you may need to do is slow or pace the transmission rate from the 3750G to the 2811.  Perhaps the simplest change you might try is to run this connection at 10 Mbps.  Or, you can use QoS features on the 3750G to slow its transmission rate to the 2811.

As to whether a router with a gig interface would work better, really depends on the performance of the router itself.  For example, the next larger model in the 2800 series, the 2821, offers gig interfaces but it too, I recall, doesn't even guarantee 100 Mbps line rates either but this kind of drop should decrease as that model is "faster". (BTW, the newer 2900 series are much "faster" for the same model level, i.e. a 2911 is much "faster" than a 2811.)

  That probably means the switch is sending data to the router too fast for it too handle at times . A small router cannot handle traffic as fast as a switch can send it at times so you will see input errors and drops on the interface and why you dont see it on the switch side because it can handle it .

Can please post the output to the command "sh controll e  fastEthernet 0/1".  I have a strange feeling this is duplex mismatch error.

Hi Leolaohoo.

This is the show controllers fastethernet 0/1 output command:

Thanks for the output but I think this is not what I was looking for.  You missed the "e" between the word controllers and the interface.

Hi,

The command do you mention does not exist:

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controllers ?

  Async         Async UART internal info

  Async         Async interface

  E1            E1 controller internal state

  FastEthernet  FastEthernet IEEE 802.3

  J1            J1 controller internal state

  Serial        Serial

  T1            T1 controller internal state

  T3            T3 controller internal state

  XTagATM       Extended Tag ATM interface

  vsi           VSI information

  |             Output modifiers

 

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll e fas

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll e ?

% Unrecognized command

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll e1 fas

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll e1 ?

  |  Output modifiers

 

ALi_Trujillo_61903#sh controll e1

Can yu have another command, please?

Sorry, but can you run the command on the switch?

Hi,

I am going to ask for the command to the switch administrator.

Thanking you in advance.

Like Glen, your initial posting stats could indicate the 3750G is sending large bursts of traffic to the 2811 (small packets would be the most problematic).  The 2811, although it has FastEthernet ports, does not guarantee 100 Mbps line-rate.  What you may need to do is slow or pace the transmission rate from the 3750G to the 2811.  Perhaps the simplest change you might try is to run this connection at 10 Mbps.  Or, you can use QoS features on the 3750G to slow its transmission rate to the 2811.

As to whether a router with a gig interface would work better, really depends on the performance of the router itself.  For example, the next larger model in the 2800 series, the 2821, offers gig interfaces but it too, I recall, doesn't even guarantee 100 Mbps line rates either but this kind of drop should decrease as that model is "faster". (BTW, the newer 2900 series are much "faster" for the same model level, i.e. a 2911 is much "faster" than a 2811.)
